Hi there teachers:
I'm trying to identify the "Adjuncts" and "Complements" in the following sentences. I have written below the sentences what parts/elements I think the "Adjuncts" are and what parts/elements the " Complements" are. Could you please check my answers if you have some free time?
1. Shyma took the milk from the milkman and placed the jar on the kitchen table.
[Complements to the verb "took": I."the milk", ii. "from the milkman"
Complements to the verb "place":
I. "the jar", ii. "on the kitchen table"
(there's no Adjuncts here)]
2. Kitty cat had been waiting for this.
[Complements to the verb "wait":
The Prepositional phrase "for this". (No Adjuncts here, too.)]
3. She waited for Shyma to leave the kitchen and the minute she left, Kitty jumped on the table and quickly reached for the jar.
[Complements to the verb "wait":
I. "for Shyma", ii. "to leave the kitchen"
Complements to the verb "reach":
the Prepositional phrase "for the jar"
Adjuncts: I."on the table", qualifying the verb "jumped", ii. "quickly", qualifying the verb "reached"]
4. Seeing a cat drinking the milk, she got really angry.
[Complements: I. "a cat", acting as a complement to the verb "seeing", ii. "drinking the milk", functioning as a catenative complement to the catenative verb "seeing", iii. "the milk", acting as a complement to the verb "drinking", iv. "really angry", acting as a complement to the linking verb "got"
Adjunct: "really", within the adjective phrase "really angry"]
